More than a hundred families of soldiers killed and missing in Karabakh war a few days ago appealed to the Chairman of the National Council of Democratic Forces, the only presidential candidate of the opposition Rustam Ibrahimbekov.
They asked to help them get insurance payments for the missing members of their families, as the official authority does not respond to their repeated appeals.
Rustam Ibrahimbekov responded to this appeal, and he said: "Azerbaijan emerged from the war with heavy losses. Unfortunately, this has left a heavy mark on the fate of our people. Over the years the authorities have not taken measures to address the fundamental moral and material problems of war-affected people.
Not only as a presidential candidate, but also as an intellectual, who believes in big changes in Azerbaijan and fights for it, I promise you that justice will be restored to all citizens.
The rights of each of you will be provided. Azerbaijan, as a country, will be proud of the sons defending it and will achieve solutions to their problems.
Now we are fighting for a prosperous, democratic and fair Azerbaijan. And I urge you to be active in this way. Relying on your faith, I believe in sharing the achievement of the national interests," said Ibrahimbekov. -03D04-
